We might find it exciting and temporarily rewarding to gamble on the lottery or impulsively buy an expensive gadget. But just as substances like alcohol and narcotics have the potential to become addictive, so do certain behaviors. A person addicted to gambling, shopping, the internet, food, or picking at their skin may suffer shame in the shadows while their behavior consumes time and energy and disrupts their life. Some people with behavioral addictions lose their family, job, savings, and home. With a physical basis in the brain, behavioral addictions are serious illnesses--but simply willing yourself to stop is usually not enough. Why Can't I Stop? is for anyone who has a behavioral addiction, as well as their supportive families and friends. Examining seven of the most common and serious addictions--gambling, sex, stealing, internet use, shopping and buying, hair pulling and skin picking, and food--the authors bring together cutting-edge research to describe behavioral addiction, its causes, and how it can be diagnosed and treated. Featuring patient stories of behavioral addiction and recovery, as well as information about treatment centers, this compassionate guide will help readers better understand the complicated issues surrounding these addictions and teach family members how to help the addicted person while helping themselves"--   Copy/Holding information Location Collection Call No. Copy Status Due Date   Hawaii State Library Business, Science & Technology 616.8584 Gr   Checked In   Add Copy to MyList Liliha Public Library Adult Nonfiction 616.8584 Gr pap Checked In   Add Copy to MyList Manoa Public Library Adult Nonfiction 616.8584 Gr   Checked In   Add Copy to MyList Pearl City Public Library Adult Nonfiction 616.8584 Gr   Checked In   Add Copy to MyList Nanakuli Public Library Adult Nonfiction 616.8584 Gr   Checked In   Add Copy to MyList Waianae Public Library Adult Nonfiction 616.8584 Gr   Lost 03/14/2019 Add Copy to MyList
